About this Item
Description:

Two names on front paste-down. Rare work. "This volume is on the borderline between prose English and the language of mathematics. It is a vivid protest against the use of poorly defined terms and the general sloppy though to be found in much biological 'literature'. Professor Woodger is a biologist and in the volume argues for a prose and prose symbols which are exact enough to be handled logically as are mathematical expressions" - From a review of the work (Annals of the Entomological Society of America, Volume 31, Issue 2, 1 June 1938, Page 210).
